Remembering the black country - chain making

The black country was known for its industry and chain making was one of the biggest in the village of cradley and surrounding area in the black country . there is lots of interesting history behind our lost industry and it's amazing to see some of the old footage from the past in the black country days

I can’t tell you how this film has made feel. Listening to the women chattering, it was as if I was back at my grandparents, she had a fire grate the very like the one in the film, washing hung over the fire guard and gran sitting by the fire making her rag rugs the teapot on the grate stewing away. Brought it all back for me. So thanks again.

Amazing to look back at the black country living . I know what you mean tbh it feels as if in the moment at that scene seeing the old nostalgia.

Hi Drew. I had a wonder through the grave yard at Cradley church a few days ago, I like to look at the war graves. I did notice there was a grave for a Hingley from Netherton and it mentions iron works. Will have to take a picture if im up that way again.
Mushroom Green in Cradley is nice for a wonder round too. Old nail/chain making shops there

I enjoy the Black Country videos and the history behind them but the loud unnecessary music is drowning out the narrative - not on just this video but on others as well. I really want to hear their stories and the many local accents but I miss a lot because of the background music.

[@MidlandsOutdoors]

Thanks for the reply I can certainly look into that when do another one some old footage there is music but I can probably remove it and just have the voice of tone the music down but can see where you coming from .

@@MidlandsOutdoors Thank you for responding to my comment. I have only just discovered your videos and I find Black Country history so interesting. I am a Brummie by birth and moved 12 miles to Stourbridge many years ago and discovered a completely different world to Birmingham - a colourful world full of history, trades, language and traditions. It is good to see the history of the Black Country being recorded and being valued and enjoyed.

It's nice to see the old days even from present I know not many people look at the history but it's always good to look back at what industry was cause today it's not very hard working and skilled as back then
